It's as though the sight of a Porsche causes them to go stark raving mad. Some a-hole almost caused a multiple car pile up recklessly maneuvering around me in heavy traffic today as I was driving home this afternoon. Interested to hear how commonplace this is.
When I had my '88 911, I had the same thing, ricers, trucks, etc.... I don't have anyone try to mess with me in the Boxster, but then I don't drive in the same areas now that I did then which I think is part of it.

The even weirder thing is that when I got my miata, I constantly had people in mustangs and camaros wanting to race me and even had an old guy in a corvette trying really hard in heavy traffic to goad me into racing or something.
